[QUOTE="Little Cow, post: 1590638, member: 5507"] No. We compost our manure outside of the cow pasture. If your hens can free range, they will scratch in your compost pile. SInce that is where you put the fly predator larva, the hens will eat the larva before it can hatch into the tiny wasps that prey on fly eggs. When our hens are free ranging, we put the fly predators in smaller piles where the hens can't get to them easily. You CAN put your predator larva into compost piles in the cow pasture. [/QUOTE]
